A New Orleans woman is facing murder-for-hire charges after she inadvertently tried to book a hitman to take out a love rival on a website that is linked to the FBI.
Zandra Ellis, 33, was taken into custody by the feds this week in the parking lot of a Waffle House in Louisiana after discussing the hit with an undercover agent, according to the criminal complaint in the case.
Ellis made contact with Rent-A-Hitman.com on June 30 using a fake name, Jasmine D. Brown, the documents state.
In her inquiry, Ellis said that she wanted a woman identified only as B.H. dead. Ellis said: ‘I would like her dead since she is trying to kill me.’
The operator of the website, Robert Innes, said that he contacted Ellis 24 hours later to see if she wanted to go through with the hit. Ellis responded within a minute to say she did.
Innes, a graduate of the Napa Valley police academy, started the website in 2005 as an internet security company.
Rent-a-Hitman was founded by Robert Innes in 2005…
